Unintended inferences: The biggest threat to data privacy and cybersecurity

Privacy and cybersecurity are converging. "It's not just a coincidence that privacy issues dominated 2018," writes Andrew Burt (chief privacy officer and legal engineer at Immuta) in his Harvard Business Review article Privacy and Cybersecurity Are Converging. "These events are symptoms of larger, profound shifts in the world of data privacy and security that have major implications for how organizations think about and manage both." Burt's concern is not new. Something else threatened by the power of AI and machine learning is online anonymity.
